A patch adding the <AttachmentClass> tag has been uploaded to Mediafire.com.
- allows use of Scope Modes feature (not tested in UC-1.13)
- fixes detonator items, 223 and 224, not working under v1.13 Rev.5xxx by adding <AttachmentClass>65536</AttachmentClass>

*** Only apply this patch if you are using one of the SVN Single Click Installers (Rev.5xxx). ***

If you are running AFS v3.65 under one of the SVN Single Click Installers (v1.13 Rev.5xxx) please apply the v3.65.1 patch found here: Mediafire.com

* Changed Attachments.XML, removed entries for attachment items 391 and 401 - Removes FSS v3 in favour of FSS v4
* Fixed HK 121, removed entry from Item_Transformations.XML
* Fixed items 223 and 224 under v1.13 Rev.5224, added tag <AttachmentClass>65536</AttachmentClass> - without this tag detonators will not function correctly under the modifications introduced under Rev.52xx for certain features that AFS has not implemented yet.

I've taken the issues with finding the other components needed to get UC-1.13 (now at v3.50) working into account. The revised Bear's Pit release and version history thread now includes working links to both the base Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 mod, as well as multiple locations for the original Urban Chaos mod: Ja-galaxy-forum.com

If you're wanting to use the Single Click Installer, don't bother with v2.75. Tais has kindly created one for UC-1.13 v3 (this mod), located here: Ja-galaxy-forum.com That SCI takes care of the needed JA2 v1.13 (revision 4057), original UC files, and this mod.

and of course please don't forget to apply the latest patch over it:

v3.07 Cumulative Patch located here: Ja-galaxy-forum.com

The links actually lead to the correct forum postings concerning the respective files.

Thank you.

A small quick fix patch has been produced to fix some minor NPC in-map inventory issues, and a serious NPC placement issue that seems to be causing "ghost" troops to retake c13. This latter condition eventually leads to an assertion error on any attempt to visit the c13. The folder structure is already in place, just drop the contents of this archive into the root folder of your Jagged Alliance 2 install (with v1.13 and UC-1.13v3). Note: you do not have to start a new game, but the replacement maps will only be used by the game if you have not visited the sectors before application of the patch in your current game.

It is a very small file, and not worth the label "v3.01," which will have more improvements (perhaps even corrections to the PDF). See: Ja-galaxy-forum.com

Documentation Errata:

- v3 finally has support for the option to play with the traits system that S.T.O.M.P. (Sandro's Traits and Other Modifications Project) introduced into v1.13 a long time ago. Please feel free to ignore the warning on page 4 not to activate S.T.O.M.P. traits.
- Page 2 instructions still have leftovers from earlier documentation. As this mod requires that you seek out Tais' Single Click Installer (SCI) for v1.13, for your convenience, below are revised install instructions that make use of the resources he has made available. Please note that obtaining the original Urban Chaos "Data" folder (already renamed to "Data-UC") via the SCI will involve a much larger download than just downloading the original Urban Chaos. The link to Tais' SCI's are in the PDF.

Easy Install (not in FAQ):

0) Install Retail Jagged Alliance 2
1) Install v1.13 SCI (rev.4057, 16 January 2011)
2) Download UC-1.13NAS v2.75 SCI, but do not install. Unpack the archive with 7zip to your desktop or somewhere else separate from your v1.13 install. Now you have the original Urban Chaos data folder named properly and ready to copy.
3) From where you unpacked the UC-1.13NAS v2.75 SCI, find the Data-UC folder and copy it to your working Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 SCI (rev.4057, 16 January 2011) install.
4) Extract all the contents of the Urban Chaos-1.13 Hybrid v3.0 .7zip archive into your working Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 SCI (rev.4057, 16 January 2011) install, say YES to the prompt to overwrite the Profiles folder.
5) Launch the game via the INI Editor, make sure the JA2 v1.13 Executable = ja2.exe, and Select JA2v1.13 MOD = vfs_config.UC113.ini

"latest 1.13 mod" may be the problem. I'm not sure if you've seen this on the Bearpit forum, but beyond using the version of 1.13 that is included with Tais UC-1.13 Single Click Installer (SCI); the last implementation of the 1.13 MP-Beta code that can be used with this mod is Tais' SCI_SVN1252_MPSVN3944_Vanilla113_20101204.7z (Updated 4 December 2010).

Beyond the noted SCI from 4 December 2010, there have been some rather drastic changes to the New Attachment System (NAS) which means that future versions of UC-1.13 will be waiting for the major 2011 public release of 1.13.

By the way, I just noticed that the screenshot was done with a very old version used to test the NAS capability.

Not sure about hanging off walls, that's something you may want to look into at the Bearpit forums with those working on the new .exe features.
